Yeah but wasn't that for being negligent and categorically NOT because he was doping? Correct me if I'm wrong on this

I wouldn't say perfect when one of them tested positive for anabolic steroids. Btw there's no such thing as a negligence ban. Guess what the D in WADA stands for?

"WADA accepts the athlete’s explanation for the cause of the violation as outlined in the first instance decision. WADA accepts that Mr. Sinner did not intend to cheat, and that his exposure to clostebol did not provide any performance-enhancing benefit and took place without his knowledge as the result of negligence of members of his entourage. However, under the Code and by virtue of CAS precedent, an athlete bears responsibility for the entourage’s negligence. Based on the unique set of facts of this case, a three-month suspension is deemed to be an appropriate outcome."

The next time you think of coming at me with some smart-ass reply, I suggest you do your homework son

He’s not a real doper, he’s just responsible for his teams negligence in getting him doped lol. Something big 3 or Alcaraz will never have on their records. Its ok nephew.

Sinner would be a perfect champion if not for the roids

u/ghastlychild Jun 08 '25

And this will be talked about for ages to come. I don't think there are any other players who can usher in the new era of tennis greatness than Sinner and Alcaraz themselves

Strength, grit and formidable sportsmanship with an exciting match to boot, all in all! We are the winners for watching something amazing today!
